Effects of Daily Magnesium Complex Supplementation on Body Composition in University Students
Sponsor: Noakhali Science and Technology University
Summary
This study will investigate whether daily supplementation with 400 mg of magnesium from a triple magnesium complex containing magnesium glycinate, magnesium malate, and magnesium citrate can improve body composition in young adults. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either the magnesium complex or a placebo once daily for 8 weeks. Body composition, including body weight, body mass index, body fat percentage, muscle mass, waist circumference, hip circumference, and waist-to-hip ratio, will be assessed before and after the intervention. The study will compare changes in these measures between the magnesium and placebo groups to determine whether daily magnesium supplementation has beneficial effects on body composition.

Interventions
Triple Magnesium Complex
Thirty participants assigned to the magnesium group will receive 400 mg/day of a triple magnesium complex containing magnesium glycinate, magnesium malate, and magnesium citrate. The supplement will be administered orally as one capsule each morning for 8 weeks (56 days).
Microcrystalline Cellulose Placebo
Microcrystalline cellulose capsules (as placebo) will be administer orally once daily in the morning for 8 weeks (56 days), following the same administration schedule as the magnesium complex intervention. The placebo will serve as the comparator in this double-blind, placebo-controlled randomized trial.
